Hi, everyone! I am new here but I want to share my interview experience in US EMBASSY MANILA yesterday, August 23,2017, 6:40AM.. especially to those who are going to have their interviews in Manila. :)) 
I arrived in US Embassy at 5AM. The guard let us in around 5:40.. You have to show them your APPOINTMENT LETTER, DS160 and passport.. 
we waited for 10-15 Minutes before they let us move to Data entry.. At the DATA entry, they gave us ziplock where we will place the passport.. They also took our ds160.. they will put a sticker on it then they will give you instructions where ypu should go..  They gave us back the DS160..
Next is FULL BODY SCANNER 
And then another FULL BODY SCANNER before you can proceed to the main building where you will have your prescreening, biomedical and FINAL INTERVIEW. 
 
PRESCREENING - Window 52
I was already inside, I was the first in the Letter C lane.. The windows were still closed.. The assistant told us to prepare the documents already BIRTH CERTIFICATE, NBI CLEARANCE, CENOMAR, MRV SLIP AND MEDICAL RECORD(BROWN ENVELOPE).. 
the windows already opened and I went to the first available windows already. I greeted her good morning. She was a Filipino consul.. I gave her my DS160..
Questions:
What is your name? Birthday? What is your relationship to the petitioner? Where did you meet? How? When did the romantic relationship start? If both of us have children? How old are you? How old is he? Have you ever been to other countries? Have you ever been to Mindanao? I said YES. She asked where? then she took my documents, birth certificate, NBI CLEARANCE, CENOMAR and MRV slip.. I couldn't give my brown envelope because the St Luke's was the one who forwarded it to them because I had PSYCH Evaluation. 
Then she gave me back my ds160 and told me to proceed to window 43 for finger scanning
 
FINGER SCANNING Window 43. American Consul. He was the one with a very bad temper and he yells at applicants who cannot follow instructions. 😂 But I still greeted him a very good morning and a wide smile anyway😊I silently talked to myself that I better do well here or else I'll piss him off. I kept wiping my hands with my handkerchief.. 
he only asked me 
what is your name? Birthday SUDDENLY, He was giving me a tissue paper. I thought he was giving it to me to wipe my hands because I was wiping my hands in my handkerchief 😂 I wiped my hands using the tissue paper but he said NO. The finger scanner, wipe it off😂😂😂😂 Omg. *face palm*
Then he told me to place my fingers on the scanner. He kept telling me PRESS HARD. I said to myself. What? Hard?😏 So I did. I pressed it hard. But he kept telling me to PRESS HARDER🤣 So I placed my other hand so I can press it waaaay harder just like what he wants😂 So it's good. Then the other hands and two thumbs. :)) All good. He put a stamp on my DS160. then gave it back to me, said proceed to the interview. 
 
FINAL INTERVIEW- WINDOW 66. A very nice American woman. :)) Always smiling and we laughed together. She just seems like a friend to me. It doesn't feel like an I thought it felt like just a conversation between two friends😂 I greeted her HI, MAAM! Good morning! :)) She smiled at me and greeted me good morning too and asked how I am doing. I said I'm great and I asked her back ☺️
 
I gave her again my ds160. She took it and told me to wait 
When she came back she started to ask me
What is your name? How long you've been together? What do you like about your fiancé? When was the last time he visited you? What did you do when he was here? I said we went to Baguio city, had our engagement photoshoot and then he proposed again for the 2nd time. She laughed 😂 What? Is first time not enough? I said I guess not ma'am, he wanted to propose with ring. Then I showed her my left hand where my ring is. Her smile was really wide already. Do you have wedding plans? I said yes and then she asked me what plans? Where are you going? I said Chicago Illinois  What can you say about Chicago? I just said what I remembered 😂😂 I said, there's a lake in there, Michigan Lake, Sears tower and GIANT BEAN!😂 she laughed again when she heard the giant bean😂 She said, OH YEAH, that's what I like about Chicago, too, I call it giant bean too😂. -- Now I'm regretting I forgot about the DEEP DISH PIZZA🤣  
Then just checked my papers again.. Then she said I SEE NO PROBLEM, looks good.. You are approved. Then she gave me two pamphlet explained it to me.. I couldn't focus anymore, I started to cry.. then she repeated what she told me she said CONGRATULATIONS! YOU ARE APPROVED! WAIT FOR YOUR VISA IN 6-10 working days.. Have a nice day! 😍 I thanked her so much ☺️
 
 
SHE didn't take any of my fiancé's documents. Not even the form i-134 and the supporting documents! Just my documents. She didn't even asked for our pictures. :)) 
 
THANK YOU, LORD! Finally! I'm done! 
Ticket already booked last August 4 😂 Big risk but my fiancé had so much faith 😊 Good thing I made it! I'll finally be with him SOON 😂
 
Tips for everyone: ALWAYS WEAR A BIG SMILE, BE POLITE AND GREET EVERYONE IN THERE. :)) It will always be a great help to lighten up their moods. 😊
Pray and pray and pray 😊

Hey guys! We had our AOS interview today at the Chicago Field Office. It was pretty packed there, we had our interview about an hour after our actual appointment time. We had our attorney with us as well. The immigration officer asked us just about every question you can think of. She went through every single detail/question on the form. Most, if not all the questions were directed towards him. She asked him his name and date/country of birth, she asked him for my name, my date of birth, my birth location, my daughter's name, her date of birth, where she was born. She also asked for my daughter's birth certificate to prove it is not his kid for some reason. She asked him how and when he entered the country this time around, she wanted the exact dates and airports. She then asked him for his current passport and all previous passports, thank God we brought those with us. She asked me only for my state ID or driver's license, I provided her with my driver's license. She asked him about his previous visits to the country and how he entered the country previously before coming here on the K1 visa. She also asked him about a previous student visa he applied for a couple years ago and to me it seemed like she was a bit suspicious on that. She asked him what family he had here as well. She also asked for an original of my divorce certificate since I was married once before my current marriage. She then asked if we had anything further info we wanted to provide so we gave her the typical stuff, our leases, insurance, etc. She didn't take any of our pictures and we came equipped with a huge photo album lol. After we gave her those documents she directed only two questions towards me which were to explain how we met and how many times we visited each other since we did long distance for a long time. After that she did not say anything about us being approved or denied. She gave us a paper saying the case will be held for further review. So we're kind of down because we were somewhat expecting to get approved on the spot since others here have stated that but we're staying positive since she seemed friendly at the end and cracked a couple of jokes about how we met (tinder lol..) Hopefully we'll get an approval as soon as possible. Case status online does not say anything. fingers crossed!

Omg! Congratulations! :)) Actually, we are thinking of moving out this year. Our lease will end January :)) I will let my husband know about this! Thank you! ❤️

Sorry to hear that. There’s a facebook page Visa Harmony. You can inquired from that group, too. For now, just try to prepare for your sputum test, don’t stress out and drink plenty of water. Try turmeric tea, too.. as much as possible try to avoid milk coz sometimes it causes haze on your lungs. Goodluck!
